[ Geralt is not known for chatting, but around Dean—where he's comfortable, where he hasn't much reason to keep his guard up—he'll usually have more to say. But right now, he's quiet, too.
He doesn't much enjoy being looked after by healers, either. If there's a healer involved, it's only because something fucked him up so thoroughly, he couldn't fix it himself. This, though, he knows. He knows it from their time here, and he knows it from their intervening memories, before injuries became easy to shrug off and little could touch them except others of their kind.
His own hands are blistered red. He ignores them in favour of digging out the salve he keeps in his bag. It's quick, efficient, and he's soon got the burns neatly wrapped—less for optimal healing, more for getting back in the action. Something tells him Dean hasn't any plans to sit still. Neither has he.
After a second longer than he means, he releases Dean's hand. It's not accurate to say he regrets escaping those false years. Maybe he simply regrets that there were things he had to let go of in the process.

But not all of it was left behind. ]
